Mr. Liebeler. I understand that you are a gun enthusiast, is that correct?
Mr. Alba. That is correct.
Mr. Liebeler. And that you kept in your office in the garage various magazines relating to outdoor life and guns?
Mr. Alba. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler. Did Oswald ever discuss guns with you?
Mr. Alba. Yes, he did.
Mr. Liebeler. Can you tell us what he said, and what you said on the subject?
Mr. Alba. He pursued the issue of ordering guns, and how many guns had I ever ordered, and how long did it take to get them, and where had I ordered guns from——
Mr. Liebeler. Go ahead. What did you tell him? Just tell us the conversation that you had with him.
Mr. Alba. I told him that I had a gun on order at the present time, a U.S. .30 caliber carbine, and he asked had I received the gun, on several occasions, after that. I told him no, that I hadn't. And he asked me would I consider selling him the gun if and when I got it. I told him no.
